The MICROSCOPE mission has confirmed the 'equivalence principle' with unprecedented accuracy, bolstering Einstein's general relativity.
The result, announced this week by a team led by the French space agency CNES, is a triumph for Einstein's general relativity. However, it also potentially rules out some candidate universal theories of physics.

Our sun is surrounded by multi-million-degree plasma called the corona, beautifully visible during a total solar eclipse.
About once a day, a magnetic explosion on the sun will send a chunk of the corona hurtling into interplanetary space. This is called a coronal mass ejection (CME) and scientists believe that this almost certainly happens on other stars.
